Machine Learning for Crypto Portfolio Management Case Study: Week 7

This was the seventh week of our case study that will evaluate the application of machine learning for portfolio management. The methodology for this study was first outlined in our previous article.

Each week, we will publish an update to highlight interesting events that took place over the last week, break down the performance metrics from the last week, and provide any changes that will be made to each portfolio.

Gary Gensler shows support for a Bitcoin Futures ETF which gave bitcoin some positive momentum. As usual, this opened up room for the altcoin market to surge — and surge it did. Nomics had a solid week which pushed it to new all time highs, while Shrimpy made up for a rough couple of weeks and is now outperforming the Smart Contracts index.

Shrimpy ML Strategy

The Shrimpy ML Strategy leverages the 7-day price predictions generated by the Shrimpy ML engine. These price predictions are then used to determine which assets should be placed into our portfolio for this week. Additional information regarding the methodology can be found in our previous article.

Shrimpy was the top performer this week by far, and has now overtaken the Smart Contracts index in total performance. Solid picks such as REN, ALGO and ALEPH helped the Shrimpy portfolio make up for a couple of shaky weeks recently and it has caught up to the Indices. That said, there is still a lot of ground to make up in order to catch up to the Nomics portfolios performance.

Conclusions

A rising tide lifts all boats, and it’s clear that positive news from the SEC’s Gary Gensler regarding a Bitcoin Futures ETF is indeed a rising tide. Could this be the spark that ignites the “extended bullrun” that is being predicted by some cryptocurrency market analsysts and if so — has Nomics gained an insurmountable lead?
